Liberal Democrat — Glastonbury and Somerton

Speaking in the House of Commons on 8 September 2025

Debate

Women in the Armed Forces

Contribution

The Atherton report, published in 2021, surveyed 4,000 female service personnel and veterans. It revealed that 62% had been victims of bullying, discrimination, harassment or sexual assault during their service. Does the Minister recognise that at a time when we are expanding our armed forces, we must improve the overall experience of women in the military, protect female personnel, and help servicewomen achieve their full potential?
